"We heard a loud pop and scraping sound from inside our house. We finally saw what caused it. The garage door spring had broken in half. We were trapped with both cars locked inside the garage with no way to open the garage door. Justin came right out that very afternoon to get the garage door open and to measure for replacement spring. He came back next day with the part to replace the spring and install. It went smoothly. I am a happy customer and I definitely recommend Magnolia Garage Door Company for any repair or installation of your garage door."

"I highly recommend Summerlin Exterior Solutions. Jesse and the crew showed up on time every morning and also stayed late some evenings to complete the new shadow box style fence in my backyard. They pay very close attention to detail and their work is extremely precise. They had great ideas to design and build custom gates with cedar post caps that made the new fence immaculate. I was using a baby gate on the deck to keep my puppy close by and they came back and built a gorgeous wooden sliding gate that blends in with my deck perfectly. I could not be happier with the entire project!"

"DDK Construction did a great job with our front porch steps. We had a 5 year old porch that was rotting, and they replaced the stringers, a new beam/ cement, repaired railing, and new steps. The pricing was competitive, they scheduled us quickly, and the staff was friendly. We had an issue with the finished steps, but they made sure we were completely happy with the end result."

"John was really a pleasure to do business with. He took a challenging building project (a loft in a cabin with multiple roof angles) and turned it into a space that was even better than what we had imagined. John was very responsive throughout the project, answering all our questions in an easy-to-understand manner. Also, he came when he said he was going to come. He took care to ensure that both the structural and the aesthetic aspects of the remodel were sound and went "above and beyond" by building us a beautiful and unique railing using wood from our property. We would definitely hire him again for future projects."

Enclosing a carport essentially turns it into a garage. You’ll start by framing and finishing exterior walls, then add a garage door (averaging $1,200), windows, and wiring for lights or outlets.
Plan for site prep and, if needed, a thicker slab to handle the added weight. Once the walls are up, insulation, drywall, and exterior siding create a secure, weather-tight space that protects vehicles and gear year-round.
A well-built carport may not add a huge dollar figure to an appraisal, but it can boost buyer appeal. Covered parking protects vehicles and lawn equipment, sharpens curb appeal, and fills what might otherwise be an empty driveway space. If the carport matches your home’s style and stays in good repair, it can make the property more attractive and competitive when you decide to sell.
Most cities and counties require a building permit for a new carport. Fees range from $60 to $800, depending on local codes and the size of the structure. Getting the permit upfront ensures the carport meets zoning rules and HOA guidelines, protecting you from fines or expensive retrofits later. Check with your building department—or ask your contractor—before ordering materials or scheduling installation.
A poured concrete slab is the gold standard for carport foundations. Concrete delivers superior load-bearing strength, keeps posts level, and resists shifting in freeze-thaw conditions. While gravel, dirt, or permeable pavers cost less upfront, they can’t match concrete’s long-term stability, especially if you might convert the carport into a garage later. Investing in a slab now can save money and hassle down the road.
Pre-made kits start at $300 and bundle all the required parts—sometimes installation, too—making them the most budget-friendly option. Custom carports cost more ($12 to $40 per square foot plus labor) but let you match the design, size, and finishes to your home.
If price and quick setup top your list, go with a kit. If you have a tricky layout or want a seamless aesthetic, investing in a custom build is worth the premium.
